DirecTV is one of the few companies I can honestly say has been extraordinarily good to me and if they were under AT&T management, you all know it'd go to shit...

"But Dead_Rebel, why not go to DISH?"

'Cause I'm not that desperate. ;)]]>Nov 1st 2008 10:07AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/31/atandt-looking-to-snap-up-directv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/31/atandt-looking-to-snap-up-directv/Nov 1st 2008 12:13PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/31/atandt-looking-to-snap-up-directv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/31/atandt-looking-to-snap-up-directv/
But I've had DirecTV continuously sine October 1994. Murdoch was bad enough, but he's gone. I'd hate to trade down to AT&T.]]>Nov 1st 2008 3:05PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/31/atandt-looking-to-snap-up-directv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/31/atandt-looking-to-snap-up-directv/
This is not true. The current at&t (formerly SBC Communications) was not the same "AT&T" of AT&T Wireless - that was the old company (& old management).

When AT&T Wireless was going south, at that time SBC was the principal owner of Cingular Wireless (a competitor), and only later acquired assets of the old AT&T when it went under -- including the name, which they kept (it's over 100 years old you know), but changed the logo from all caps to lower caps: at&t

Again, the new (& current) at&t didn't have anything to do with the management and business practices of the older "AT&T Wireless", an asset that was originally McCaw Cellular, started by Craig McCaw (the "father" of the modern cell phone business, and very wealthy). Here's his Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_McCaw]]>Nov 1st 2008 11:07PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/31/atandt-looking-to-snap-up-directv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/31/atandt-looking-to-snap-up-directv/Nov 2nd 2008 12:47AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/31/atandt-looking-to-snap-up-directv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/31/atandt-looking-to-snap-up-directv/Nov 2nd 2008 11:28AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/31/atandt-looking-to-snap-up-directv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/31/atandt-looking-to-snap-up-directv/Nov 11th 2008 3:04PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/31/atandt-looking-to-snap-up-directv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/31/atandt-looking-to-snap-up-directv/
